data-index-in-node="0">Al Arish (Egypt):</b> As of early
February 2026, Al Arish is undergoing a major transformation
with the development of its first bulk cement silo terminal.
The port is increasingly competitive for Mediterranean
exports. <b data-path-to-node="15,0,0"
data-index-in-node="216">Note:</b> Navigation was briefly
suspended in early January due to weather; check the current
7-day forecast for the late-February laycan.</p>

<p data-path-to-node="15,1,0"><b data-path-to-node="15,1,0"
data-index-in-node="0">Sunderland (UK):</b> The port remains
a niche hub for "circular economy" commodities like Fly Ash.
Vessels must comply with the updated <b
data-path-to-node="15,1,0" data-index-in-node="132">2026
Port Regulation and Planning</b> guidelines. Current
berthing is efficient, but ensure all ballast water management
systems (BWMS) meet the D-2 standard as per the latest UK
Merchant Shipping regulations.</p>

<p data-path-to-node="15,2,0"><b data-path-to-node="15,2,0"
data-index-in-node="0">Iskenderun (Yazıcı):</b> Yazıcı
terminal is a high-volume industrial berth. While congestion
for dry bulk is moderate (averaging 1–2 days wait), it is
essential to confirm berth availability for Fly Ash, as steel
product operations often take priority at this terminal.</p>

<p data-path-to-node="15,3,0"><b data-path-to-node="15,3,0"
data-index-in-node="0">Sicily (Italy):</b> Port choice in
Sicily (e.g., Catania, Augusta, or Pozzallo) will dictate
final draft restrictions for a 15,000 mt geared vessel. Most
primary ports are currently handling high volumes of
construction materials, so prompt berthing should be confirmed
72 hours prior to ETA.</p>
